PARIS, Aram 24.—One of my friends has just shewn me a letter front Lyons, which I should have wished to have sent you eat ire, hut I could not get him to consent to part with i t, yet it made too strong an impression on my wind for me not to be 41)19 to give you the substance of it very correctly. That part of the country is plunged nnew into all the ter: rors which precede violent commotions, nothiug is heard of but sinister projects, conspiracies, and attempts against Go vernment, the people become uneasy anti irritated, and a fictitious danger creates a real one. On ascending to the source of these alarming threats, it is discovered, that they proceed from the same faction who had the guilty joy of forging the conspiracy, in all its parts, of the sth of June last. The same tactics are employed. Happily, however, Lyons has now a good Prefect and a good Military Commandant. But will tbey be always able to defeat the dreadful tnachioa ,tions of men and secret societies, soi disant Royalists ? They have to combat M. F. and M. 1). and the crowd of " datoned souls" of which these men are the ringleaders. F 1,41 * is weak, silly, and deceitful, but too far engaged with the Party to be able to retrace 'his steps ; too short-sighted to perceive the precipice down which he is about to be hurled ; and too cowardly to avow that he was wrong on the Sth June ; and he therefore endeavours to create a conspiracy, to prove that which be neither would nor could prevent. This man takes advice of all .the worthless wretches who hare long beeu the hatred and contempt of the Lyonese, because they had been the guilty actors in all the scenes of disorder and anarchy. D*** is far more formidable than F—, born for Revo lutions, an impostor and arrant. knave, active and enter prizing, capable of any thing to securethe success of his Party. Inflexible in his designs, he pursues them with a persever ance proof against every thing; inaccessible to the charm s of money, disdaining favours, devoid of fear, he looks for no other recompense than that of seeing his Faction triumph, of which be is one of the chief supporters.—Such were the destestable monsters who figured in the Convention, the more dangerous, because they escaped every species of seduc tion, and that their only aim was to found their atrocious system. These are the principal persons that the Prefect and the Military Commandant hare to dread. The Government can not be ignorant of it, for the well intentioned Lyoncse, to Our knowledge, neglect no means of enlightening it. But hitherto, I lament to say that it resembles those Gods of gold, stone, and ivood, before whous victims were slaughtered withant their hearing their Plaint. This, Sir, is but an abridgment of the letter to my friend, of the accuracy and truth of which the names of the Parties, were I permitted to give them, would appear a sufficient gua rantee, and this sketch, short as it is, will prove to you how far I was right, when I told you, that by its weakness and tardiness, the Ministry hastened to its ruin. It may yet awake from its slumber and act with effect, but the moments are preciftus, acid accasio post calm eat. The proxi ::ate publication of a Pamphlet is announced, under the title . of " On the Necessity of the New Ordonnanee of the sth September; for the Use of the Departments."— A friend who has read part of the manuscript informs me,that [t is remarbablestrung, and that it demonstrates, irrefragildy, hat the fall of the INlinistry is inevitable, unless it removes from their places those men who persist in governing without it, and against it.' The Author endeavours to prove that Se cret Societies have greater influence than evbr ; th.At they are in possession of almost all the threads of the Administration ; that the National Guard of the Departments, organized by their Cures, is in their interests ; that they promise impunity to all crir.Ol:,;,=, of whatever dye, who will wilted with them, and ne cife3,' amcmgst others, the parricide ..-Ittyi't - 071 and the ' ..iss f usins i'i'holez. He affirms that they have succeeded by their iiltrigues to inspire the witnesses with terror, who have given their depositions in this affair, which is the reason that the authors of this atrocious crime still breath. According to hint, the Ultras of Lyons, Nismes, Marseilles, Toulouse, and the other principal cities of the South, prepare, with the as sistance of the Jacobins, new disturbance's, of which the latt er are destined to he- ultimately the victims, To secure the success of their abominable project, adds the author, they employ, with the officers of Government, sometimes promises, and sometimes threats, and by these means succeed in closing their lips. There appears much exaggeration in the pamphlet, but I cannot refrain from noticing three facts which are known to every one, and which support in a remarkable manner sever ral of the asserti:gis of the author I. Aurillon asserted in open Court on his trial, that he was only persecuted in order to strike, in his person, Cannel, Chabriol„ D4sute, and all the Royalists who fig,:red in the af fair of Lyons ; that their cause was his. It is a fact that the mass of the Ultras at Nismes declared in his favour, and powerfully , contributed to get him acquitted. 11. It is the common opinion at Lyons (and, we may add, at Paris), amongst the Ultras, that M. Feraldes only suffered the death he merited, as he Was a Buonapartist ; and there are persons who do not blush to publicly express their hopes that Bastide, Jausion, And Co. may escape; so that if the executioner executed the law upon them, I should not be surprised to see these " friends of the altar and the throne," place the names of the assassins in the Legend amongst the Martyrs. • 111. There appeared a few days since, in a Paris raper, an article, in which it was endeavoured to prove, that Bastide is innocence itself, and I have acquired the certitude that this eery article was inserted at the request of a man who belongs to the foci ion of the Ultras. This reminds us of what passed 4 Rome and at Constan• tinople, during the reign of the Emperors, when the citizens were divided into two factions, distinguished by the•names of the Blurs and the Greens. M. Sainerille, the Ex-Commissary of Police at Lyons, has put his Work to press. The edition will he, I am told, of 6000 copies. Will he tell the whole truth? Will all he says he true ? This is what time will reveal; but one thing is certain, and that is, that his work will he read with such avi dity, that we should nut he surprised to learn, that the whole of the 6000 copies are cold in as many days.

By one Bill, an ancient Company had been overtnrne ', though it was supposed that it was to be kept in the promised field of com petition. A subsequent Bill was proposed, which did not succeed, and then the great Companies entered into a private agreement, and divided the Metropolis as they pleased.

The High Bailiff of Westminster was called to the Bar, and presented Papers containing Accounts of his Emoluments.. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. Mr. M. A. TA YLOR brought up a Report from the Northern Circuit Commit►ee. He begged to call the attention of the House to the importance of this subject. In the inquiry which had taken place, it had been found that persons, many of whom had ultimately been acquitted, had been imprisoned for eight or nine months before they were brought to trial. It was unnecessary to dwell'on the hardship of these cases. He might add, that marry causes had been suffered to stand over for two years before they were brought to trial. This had frequently been known in the counties of Northumberland, Westmorland, and Durham. It might he said, in fact, that the bu siness of these counties had not been done at all. It had been found at York, that of eight Special Jury causes, six bad remained untried, though the parties had been put to the expense of holding themselves and their witnesses in rea diness. He knew that he should meet with „op position on this subject, lint was determined go persevere. It would be•seen that the Committee humbly recommended that the Northern Circuit should be divided ; but the Counsel were of opi nion that none but the established Judges of the land should be sent on that important - Circuit. This was urged in consequence of a report fink bad gone abroad, that it was in contemplation u) send a Commission down, con isting of a Ser jeant at Law and others, to transact certain parts .. . ot the business of the Circuit. He hopedsuch course %soukd not be adopted, as be was confident a remedy to the existing evil could not be thus sup plied, and any expedient of the kind he must pro• flounce to be a dclnsion. fie trusted the Report of the Committee would be acted upon, and that the evil in question would be done away. If a remedy were not afforded, it was his determina r tion to move an Address to the Prince Regent on
